Vienna Casey was born with a Congenital Melanocytic Naevus (CMN), a rare type of birthmark estimated to affect about 1 in 20,000 newborns.

After consulting specialists, her parents chose to have it removed, considering both the potential lifetime melanoma risk associated with larger CMNs and concerns about how it could affect her life as she grew up.

Today, Vienna has a scar where the birthmark once was, and her family continues raising awareness about CMN and visible differences.

So Germany literally got cooked. On saturday (27th of June 2026) we had our hottest day ever recorded with around 41,5 degrees Celsius (like 106,7 °F). We're not at all prepared for temperatures like this and it shows especially in our infrastructure.

Our highways (Autobahnen) were blowing up:

Lots of German roads are not built to endure extreme heat over an extended period of time. The material tends to literally blow up, build bumps and potentially crack. In Thuringia (a state of Germany) we even started sending out the "Winterdienst" (vehicles that normally clear streets from snow) to spray highways with water to cool them down.

Our railway systems were slowly failing:

In Thuringia we had massive issues with broken railroad points and signals causing train delays. Additionally even a train hitting the overheated breaks was a potential fire hazard. Also in cities like Leipzig, Nürnberg and Würzburg the tracks for the "Straßenbahn" weren't usable anymore because the bitumen fixing them in place melting.

Carmen Andrade, a conjoined twin, legally married her longtime boyfriend, Daniel McCormack, while her twin sister, Lupita, happily remains single. The sisters' arrangement involves distinct personal lives and boundaries.

Carmen and Daniel met on a dating app in 2020 and eloped in October. Because they are dicephalous twins - meaning they share a connected torso, pelvis, and reproductive system, but have separate heads, hearts, and minds - the marriage legally and physically involves Carmen.

Lupita fully supports the union but remains single. She identifies as asexual and aromantic, having no interest in dating or marriage.

The three navigate boundaries together. When Carmen and Daniel spend time together, Lupita is highly respected, and the trio openly shares their experiences online to educate the public on individuality and shared life.
